The Skinker-DeBaliviere Community Council celebrated the Holiday Season with three neighborhood events: a Christmas Walk and House Tour, an Outdoor Lighting Contest, and a reader’s theatre presentation of A Child’s Christmas in Wales.
The House Tour was held on the afternoon of December 14. which was a beautiful, sunny day. Nine homes, decorated for Christmas, were open for tour and St. Roch’s provided refreshments in the newly renovated Church Hall.
The Tour ended at 4 p.m. to coincide with Grace Methodist’s annual Candlelight Caroling Service. Both events were well attended. SDCC’s First Annual Outdoor Lighting Contest was a true success. Three winners, one from each neighborhood, were awarded a hand-crafted Christmas ornament.
Our distinguished judge, Paula Repetto, selected as winners: Maverine Wilson from Rosedale, Jim and Kathy Merlo from Parkview, and Janelle and Lessie Stephens from Washington Heights. Dylan Thomas’ A Child’s Christmas in Wales was presented at Grace Methodist Church on Wednesday evening, December 17. Ken Cohen directed the production with a – cast of Kathleen Hamilton, Dan Shea, Rocco DiLorenzo, and Terry Vanicelli.
Mary Vanicelli’s Brownie Troop 533 baked over six dozen cookies for the reception that followed the reading.
